Strong evidence that the object-recognition deficits produced by cerebral ischemia do not result from hippocampal damage comes from
A) the case of R.B.
B) a demonstration that hippocampal lesions can prevent ischemia-produced object-recognition deficits.
C) demonstrations that the deficits are the result of CA1 damage.
D) the case of N.A.
E) demonstrations that ischemia can prevent the amnesic effects of hippocampal lesions.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Demonstrations that hippocampal lesions can prevent ischemia-produced object-recognition deficits would indicate that the deficits do result from hippocampal damage. However, since the opposite is true, it suggests that the deficits are not linked to hippocampal damage.
